United Way supporters are encouraged to visit the Tasty Weasel Taproom between the hours of noon and 9 p.m. The brewery tour starts at 4:00, and the Old Time Music Jam runs from 6 until 8 p.m.

“We’re so appreciative of Oskar Blues Brewery’s support of United Way of Transylvania County’s work in early childhood education, homelessness prevention, financial literacy, and more. We look forward to meeting other community-minded people at Making a Difference Monday on August 20th,” added United Way Board Member Nicola Karesh.
